Did 2week antibiotics for suspected ulcer caused by naproxen. symptoms returned shortly after.was taking pepacid daily/switched to prilosec.now what?

See details: First of all, antibiotics are not indicated for an ulcer secondary to NSAIDs unless H. Pylori is present. Pepcid (famotidine) will not prevent ulcers related to NSAIDs unless it is taken in very high doses. Stay with the Prilosec.
